Abstract
Neurocysticercosis May No Longer Be a Public Health Problem in Mexico
Highlights
In 1966, Macias reported that 2.8% of 884 autopsy studies performed between 1947 and 1957 were positive for NCC [2]
The exit is proposed here based on the dramatic decrease of cysticercosis and taeniosis frequencies, as obtained from the Information System for Epidemiological Surveillance of the Ministry of Health (SUIVE, Sistema Unico de Informacion para la Vigilancia Epidemiologica) (Figure 1) [4]
A possible explanation for this finding is the establishment of a National Program for the Control of Taenia solium that was based on the results published by the Mexican scientific and medical community working on cysticercosis
